Received a beautiful piece of 1mm CF sheet today which I going to use to block off the turn signal holes.
I was thinking it would look better to make a template that fit under the lip and then use the existing screw holes to attach the CF to the car. The problem I see is that attaching it from the top (using the same screw holes) is that you'd see the side of the CF, where it is cut. Maybe there is a nice (small) rubber bead at McMaster Carr that I could put around the CF so you wouldn't see where it is cut. So underneath or on top, what do you think would look better?  |

QUOTE(Randal @ Jan 17 2009, 06:37 PM)  Must be someone locally that sells that stuff, but haven't found anyone yet. I hate paying shipping on a $13.00 purchase. Carbon fiber is currently very difficult to find. Because of the multiple wars going on- and it's an exotic defense industry material, domestic producers can't keep up with the quantities that the military needs. You may have better luck buying from the Russian MIG factories... but I'm sure they are putting all their material to use right now as well, if you know what I mean. |
